Yikes! When I stepped inside the gym today, it looked like they were casting a gay adult entertainment production in there. Guys, guys everywhere, the place was crammed with them and they all seemed to be doing bicep curls! That's all very well, but they were kind of ruining the plans I had for my gym session. Had to wait at the bench press rack because someone was doing leg raises there. Then, had to wait for the squat cage bar that was being used for curls. The cable machine - forget about it. Guys were training their pecs in it for the full hour I was there.

Body Combat today, but not with my favourite instructor. It was so-so.I tried to count the pushups, since .flux was asking and I think it goes like this: 10 regular ones, down on three up on one, 10 superman pushups, then 5 of the first kind and then 5 superman again. I did the last 7 ones on knees. (This is after one hour's shadow boxing, just to be clear... )

They are horrible things, nobody in my classes can achieve the full set of superman push-ups, my superstrong Amazonian instructor makes them look easy though. I must say though that push-up's in Body Attack are far worse, pure torture with lots of tricep pushup's, if you ever get a chance to take a class give it a try, it's pretty hardcore.

I don't think Body Attack has been introduced here yet, at least World Class don't have it. I'll be sure to try it when I get a chance.. It doesn't sound very enjoyable though? More like the kind of thing that makes you feel good afterwards, in a Lutheranian kind of way. No gym for a week now, was out of town and then got a bit of a cold. I'll try to do something light like yoga tomorrow.

Wow, the hamstrings can really get sore when you do yoga after a break. Tried to work around them and still do some leg stuff today.

Barbell row: 35 kg, 4 x 6.

Hang clean: 40 kg, 4 x 6.

Lunges: 55 kg, 4 x 6 each side.

Seated cable row, one arm: 32 kg, 4 x 6.

Seated calf raise: 35 kg, 3 x 8.

Back extension: 10 kg, 3 x 8.

Abs: Also quite sore. Did 3 super slow crunches, all the way up.

Felt a bit guilty when I remembered some exercises the naprapath wanted me to do.Haven't been doing them a lot. Did some hip abductions lying down to clear my conscience.. They'repretty heavy if knees are bent and feet together and are supposed to stabilize your squats.
